Matala Dimitris Resort
8.1 (32 reviews)

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★

📍 XQW4+28, Matala Main Road, Matala

"Worst experience in a hotel: absolutely avoid. I wouldn't even call the Dimitris Villa a "hotel": it's a country house masquerading as a tourist facility. We had booked a double room, but without any prior notice, we were assigned a single with two tiny beds, barely suitable for children. The bedding was embarrassing: a simple sheet placed directly on the mattress, without a mattress protector—definitely unhygienic (I've attached a photo). The room was cramped, not soundproofed (we could hear every word from the neighbors), and the bathroom was unusable: the shower and sink were completely clogged. The check-in (after 3:30 PM) and check-out times are inconvenient, and there's no real reception. The breakfast is extremely basic and definitely not worth the extra cost. But the worst came on the second day: after returning from a day at the beach, we found the room exactly as we'd left it—no cleaning, no towel change. After reporting the problem to the agency, they lied, saying they'd contacted us to fix the room, which never happened. I just wanted to leave, even if it meant losing my money! Non-existent service, neglected property, don't be fooled by the photos: this place is anything but a hotel. A complete scam!"

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"The appartments are way off from the hotel. Maybee 1-2 Miles.. why par for the Beach accessability when u need to drive there? The appartment has only one bathroom, not 2. No wahing mashine. No pool. No externa lights. No reading lamps in bedroom. The paint is peeling off, poor build quility and dangerous appliances."

Idi Hotel

Idi Hotel ★★

📍 Zaros, Faistos

"IDI Hotel is excellent. Just outside Stavros, but not too far to reach a cozy, authentic Greek restaurant within a few minutes. The breakfast is fine with plenty of choice. You can eat inside the restaurant or outside on the terrace. As mentioned, you can dine in the village or at the taverna next to the hotel. Everything is at very reasonable prices. The pool is large, 1.50 meters deep. There are plenty of sun loungers and shady spots. The rooms have all been renovated. Very tastefully done. We stayed there for a week. During the day we also often went to Matala (20 minutes by car). Nice beach and manageable in terms of crowds."

Calypso Hotel
8.0 (14 reviews)

Calypso Hotel ★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"I think it's the worst hotel I've been in... The food, let's not talk about it, it's totally indecent (the lunch is nothing continental, low standard. The evening meal, 1 normal dish and 1 vegetarian dish. As starters, salad, tomatoes, onions, olives, ... dessert, 1 fruit...) And what's more, it's not even good, the leftovers reused as much as possible, boiled eggs that have been hard for several days... At least we discovered some great little restaurants in town! The wifi does not work in the rooms even though it says "Wifi in the rooms"! When we complain about it, they say it works on the terrace, which is not true, we have the signal but impossible to connect. And when by some miracle it connects, nothing happens! It seems that it's because of the mountains, that it's like that everywhere in Greece, I have to deal with it... while the wifi works very well in the restaurant and everywhere else in Matala in the restaurants! At the Calypso hotel, we even receive wifi from surrounding hotels, but unfortunately no password :( TV. We're not here for that but still, at the limit, I would prefer that it not There aren't any! 3 channels: 2 German and one French-speaking. All almost as scrambled as Canal + without a decoder. The French-speaking channel remained frozen 4 days a week and what's more, they chose LN24 but the African version! Nothing against it, but this information interests me less... I had asked for a room on the ground floor, we were put on the highest floor... A broken fridge remained at the bottom of the stairs during the entire stay... Icy reception, I was even yelled at because I wasn't parked in the right place. And at the reception, you have to manage: we go up there with our luggage, we are given a sheet with some practical instructions and then it's you manage. And no one to help with the luggage... they are there, sitting, but no one moves... nice The girls who take care of the cleaning and clearing the tables in the restaurant are nice, but we have to clear our table ourselves! Is this a hotel or are we at home? A word of advice, there are other hotels, avoid this one, even if it is not expensive! Written promises but nothing in practice. Positive: the swimming pool but we have the sea very close..."

Matala Hostel
7.7 (7 reviews)

Matala Hostel ★★

📍 Epar.Od. Gortinas - Matalon, Matala

"I stayed at this hostel for one night during a music festival, and I had a really positive experience. The room was clean, the staff were very polite and helpful, and they even provided me with an extra blanket when I asked. The location is excellent—right next to the bus stop, just a 5–7 minute walk to the beach, and close to the city center. The room had a proper renovation, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and I slept comfortably. Overall, I enjoyed my stay"

Hotel Eva Marina
8.1 (15 reviews)

Hotel Eva Marina ★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"The 2* hotel is a few minutes from the beach and is perfect! I was there for 10 days at the end of May until 8th of June. My room was spotless, was cleaned every day by a very friendly young man and I got new sheets and towels every second day! The owners are so friendly and made me feel very welcome, their breakfast buffet and coffee was great. There were also some really tasty Greek delicacies in pastry and some Crêpes in Nutella! 😋 All in all I had a great stay and can highly recommend the Eva Marina!"

Marina Hotel

"Small hotel, very good but rudimentary room, no parents, nothing in SDB to suspend a dresser, clothes... Good litter. But access to this makes the reception impossible for people in disability, stairs is not a ramp, nor lift."

Valley Village Hotels in Faistos

Valley Village

"NOT RECOMMENDED!! We are probably the first with a negative experience. (after reading the reviews above) For us, NEVER again Valley Village. We had to ask for clean towels ourselves for our entire stay. A major downside! Which made the owners find us annoying. This was abundantly clear during their non-verbal communication. When the accommodation is full, we cannot all eat within the 2 hours offered in the evening in bad weather (for dining). The dining area is large and spacious, especially outside. But too small for all guests, when an accommodation keeps expanding without adjusting the dining area accordingly. The rooms are very noisy; you cannot sleep without earplugs. The many cats roaming around take some getting used to, because there really are a lot of them. If you do not like cats, or are afraid of them, then this is definitely not the accommodation to stay at. Because there are +/- 15 cats. (Large and lots of small kittens) There is no evening entertainment; at this accommodation, you have to entertain yourself. There is an elevator, which is handy if you need to take your suitcase to the 1st or 2nd floor to get to your hotel room. ONLY THE ELEVATOR DOESN'T WORK! It is certainly a family hotel. Suitable for the elderly and for families to stay in Valley Village. It is not recommended for couples, young or old, who prefer to be on their own. The swimming pool is not inviting; there is a dirty yellow rim from grime in the larger pool. The pool is not large, rather too small for the accommodation. The breakfast is extensive and well-prepared, as is the dinner. The waitress Christina deserves a feather, a star; a big compliment for her cheerfulness and service to and for the guests at the accommodation during dinner. Unfortunately, there are more downsides than upsides. Once again, never again Valley Village for us; we find it old junk, not a pleasant stay. We will definitely go to Matala again, but never, really never again to Valley Village! Not recommended! The rooms are super basic, the price-quality ratio is not right. The cleaning is minimal. Besides the fact that there were no towels upon arrival, there was half a loaf of brown bread in the wardrobe 😳. Which made us wonder if the room had actually been cleaned. Additionally, the building is very noisy. The room above the dining/restaurant area is noisy and you cannot sleep without earplugs. Furthermore, the refrigerator makes a lot of noise as well. All in all, the rooms don't deserve any awards for cleanliness. The center of Matala is amazing; there is live music somewhere every evening. Great. 👍🏼 Safety at Valley Village is fine, except that the hotel rooms are vulnerable to break-ins, both at the door of the hotel room and in the balcony room. Matala itself left a positive impression; no police, no crime, relaxed environment, especially in the center of Matala, or rather on the square from Matala, it is very safe. From Valley Vil"

Villa Koutsakis Hotels in Faistos

Villa Koutsakis

"I would like to say that this is the only negative experience in two weeks of holiday in Crete, with three huge oil ships to be trapped off the beach and one industrial establishment on the right. The beach is directly accessible from the hotel but it was under absolute degradation (waste around, broken shadows, artificial swamp pieces in the sand and large red-red nets on the edges of the beach). The rooms were completely scrapped and furnished with a garden table and some plastic chairs, so not suitable for dinner: two beds on three were rounded to not move at night. The "kitchen" consists of two malfunctioning electrical plates, one pad and a few stove, a mini refrigerator we had to turn off at night because it was lying every 10 minutes. Of course there is no trace of boiler, coffee machine, Plates ... all things we have always found in apartments that, among other things, cost much less. So in practice it is impossible to cook even a plate of pasta. In addition, the villa is located in a completely isolated area from everything: The first village with a mini market is about half an hour drive away, there is a decent single tavern in the surroundings, to reach the villa there is a fancy road and the last track is completely shredded in critical and very rigid conditions, I would like to add the only opinion that can be considered subjective about the owners' attitude that personally seemed unpleasant and cold. Not that they were hostile, because they answered my questions, but nothing to do with the sun and warm attitude that made us in love with Crete. In short, better avoid the villa Koutsakis, there are countless other better and even more cheap places where they spend the days."

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★
"Set in quiet gardens on the outskirts of Matila, this small complex of apartments is ideal for a peaceful stay. The room is nicely furnished with a model shower room, tv and fridge. There is a small balcony over looking the gardens. There is a really lovely swimming pool for guests use. We were able to park our hire car close to the accommodation and walk into town in about 15 minutes."

Fragiskos Hotel ★★★
"Hotel is more than average, a little dated. The rooms could do with a bit of rejuvenation with a bathroom to be overhauled. For your electric razor and/or hair dryer, bring an extension cord because there is no power outlet in the bathroom. There is also no shelf to place your toiletries. In terms of TV, 2 channels in French, France2 and Israel24! The food is repetitive, nothing transcendent. Apart from the cleaning ladies, the staff are not friendly, especially the bartender who laughs when he gets burned. The rooms are not soundproofed, so you can hear everything that is happening next door. If you want to go on excursions, take your safe because you must pay for them in cash.....!,,, at the price of €85 per person on average for excursions, add it up if there are several of you staying ! I do not recommend this hotel, however it is very well located, 50 meters from the beach, restaurants, shops. The positive point is staying in this village which has kept its hippie atmosphere from the 70s. As for the FRAM facilitator, he will only make you smile if you take his proposed excursions. "

Idi Hotel ★★
"Great accomodation, modern rooms, great location close to Zaros (Votomos) lake. We were surprised how good the value for money is. The rooms are spacious with a great shower. The pool and the garden are phenomanal with beautiful mountain views and trees to offer shade. Also the restaurant is great, we ate here several times during our 3 night stay for lunch and diner. If you are into hiking it is along the road to a start point for several hikes. We used komoot for navigation but there are signs also. Would recommend for sure!"

Calypso Hotel ★★
"We stayed at this property in Matala from 2 to 10 September, in room 19 (2 adults and 1 child). The hotel is very simple, in an excellent position to go to both the beach and the centre of Matala, and there is a very pleasant swimming pool. Our room was spacious and nice with a basic and repetitive breakfast. We had an unpleasant experience, as we had deposited our documents and cash in the safety deposit box (lockable), from which unfortunately €600 was stolen, €350 from my wallet and €250 from my husband's. We have been going on holiday to Crete in this area for years, for the first time in this hotel that we did not know, but nothing like this had ever happened to us. We returned very disappointed and bitter, €600 is not a trifle...."

Hotel Eva Marina ★★
"Just steps from the beach and the narrow streets lined with taverns and shops, yet on a quiet, shaded street, this small hotel stands out for its outdoor green space, where you can have breakfast or relax at any time. The owners, a very kind and hospitable couple, pay attention to the little touches that make guests feel welcome: bottles of cold water, carrying your luggage to your room (there's no elevator), a smile. Our room (and probably others as well) was a comfortable size, simple, and pleasant in its colors and furnishings. It lacked a place to put your luggage—perhaps a bench with cushions, but we didn't want to get them dirty. Some of the room's features were perhaps a little dated, but it's not a four-star hotel, and that's acceptable. Air conditioning included in the price, a small refrigerator, kettle, and cups are other thoughtful touches, as is a lovely little balcony with a table, chairs, and lines for hanging out swimsuits and beach towels. The bathroom, recently renovated, had a window... which is very rare. The breakfast buffet is available separately. We had a great time and recommend it to anyone looking for simple, no-frills accommodations."

Galaxias Studios ★★★
"The property was lovely; our room had A/C and a mini-fridge with a freezer, and the balcony had a drying rack with clothespins. The bathroom had a shower, toilet, sink, and hairdryer, too! Haroula is the best: friendly, always happy, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. She's our new good friend, and so are the people in all the stores, bars, and restaurants. We will be staying with her again. Kalamaki is heaven on earth! It was the BEST vacation we've ever had; it was beautiful, charming, and fun. I highly, highly recommend Galaxias Studios and give it a 5-star rating! ***** !"
